The First Post. The First Approach. The First Mark.​


this post serves as a big welcome entry for everyone, and an introduction to our new community.
i created this sub as a gateaway from any ugliness or plain ignorance that exist in our lives. i am here wanting to teach people [who cares] about lots of new perspectives of life. i want to teach things like how to "Value" things in our lives and how to define the true "meaning" of them, how to approach and enjoy them.....etc.
this place is meant to be "HOME" to everyone who just wants to relax and enjoy critical and meaningful new understandings of our BIGGER video game here, which is "Real Life". i know that real life would easily sound boring, but since we can't logically deny its importance, we just have to expand on it and make it a lot more interesting.
during my philosophy post in crackwatch, i noticed that a lot of people did not actually understand anything of what i wanted to say, and no. i am not going to blame anyone here anymore. it was also partially my fault for not making my words clearer, or shorter. and the "sudden element" of the topic on a sub that did not support it definitely didn't help at all either. but its all in the past, now we fix all that. so starting now, no more cockroach power terms in my philosophies [although i can still do that if there is enough daring people who enjoy it]-- i will also be as direct with my words as i can, and if it will take more than 2/3 mins of your time, i will probably just cancel the entire thing instead. i respect everyone's time, and i will act accordingly.
anyone can easily earn an approval to post in this community, i will NOT be too strict about it. the only reason i did not make it full public by default is to prevent randoms and spammers from ruining our relaxing time here.
during our time here, it will not only be about Cracks & Philosophies. we will in fact also do lots of EVENTS and beautiful GAMES and POLLS....etc.
i hope everyone enjoys there time here, and yes. its about time to reach PERFECTION in everything now!.

TOPIC #000 ===Destroying SUBJECTIVITY once and for all, UNIVERSALLY... and briefly proving the validity of OBJECTIVITY=== [2/14/2021]​

renderTimingPixel.png

1--Introduction :

i kept thinking for a while and found the most appropriate topic to discuss *first* is the existence of the concept of "UNIVERSAL TRUTH". we need to get this out of the way, so we can progress smoothly in later philosophies without people arguing too much about "different opinions", and making a pointless mess against each other, and not learn anything at the end.
i know a lot of people think life and philosophy is only about "opinions" and "different" point of views, but while that is a "current" fact, its not actually TRUE or ever need to be like that. its just the human laziness of not wanting to "Think" at all.
-----------------------------------------------------------
2--The main terms and their meanings :

#1 --UNIVERSAL TRUTHS--

there are 3 levels of truths :
1-the "basic" truths, which is the little *facts* scattered everywhere in our daily lives, its usually proved, known, and acknowledged... and *never questioned*.

2-the "average" truths, which we work quiet a bit to find, recognize, and understand later at one point of our lives.

3-the "deep" truths, which is giving "meaning" and "relations" to absolutely anything and everything in the world.

#2 --OBJECTIVITY--
objectivity means a specific fact that is acknowledged globally as "truth", and anyone who don't follow it is WRONG, and vice versa. this term can be in the shape of ANY type of truths... basic, average, or deep.

#3 --SUBJECTIVITY--

subjectivity means a person's OWN opinion on something, which is formed from their specific "point of view" on it. this usually will try to "Avoid" any objective truths, and will lean to create its OWN meaning of truths all the time.

-----------------------------------------------------------
3--Does UNIVERSAL TRUTH exist ? and if it exist, why and how can we question it? :

the entire problem comes from the the fact that each person of us finds it VERY ATTRACTIVE to go with the "Subjective" side of things, because it simply makes everyone feel "Special" ... regardless if they are "right" or "wrong", regardless if they are going to "build" or "destroy".... its all the same to them, because their point is not to find any truths... but rather find the "Quickest" way to feel "RIGHT" and also "Special" at the same time by being "Different" from others.
this way simply makes it so no one has to really "Bother" and actually "Think" about anything. instead, WHATEVER you are doing right now, it must be "Correct" ... nah, you WILL MAKE IT "correct" whether it actually or not, it simply does not matter to you. you already DECIDED its, so it becomes.

Here are the facts that DENY the validation of Subjectivity :

1--subjectivity is basically an "opinion", so its nothing more than an "observation" of a certain point of view at certain time, without digging for any valid reasoning behind it.

2--subjectivity is mostly based on the "current" level of "knowledge" the person has, which is object to change with time.

3--subjectivity can often based on the "Selfish" desires of the individual speaking of it. and humans are very "vulnerable" to this problem, because its very attractive trap to fall into.

*subjectivity can go to a lot deeper levels of inaccuracy, as it can easy take the form of "opposites" in any concept, such as light is dark, and dark is light. black is white, and white is black. it completely "Destroys" any MEANING we have for the "Concepts" of life. and if we never had any true "meanings", then how can we explain the "feelings" and "Emotions" we have and receive from our surroundings?..... the LOGICAL explanation here is that THERE *is* universal truth, but its very hidden deep inside every concept in our lives, and humans just easily miss it.

now it should become a bit clear as of why subjectivity is insanely dangerous way of thinking and completely FALSE way to tackle life.
because ULTIMATELY--- if we follow subjectivity ....... it will also mean there is no "meaning" in anything anyone do. so "building" will be the same as "destroying", and this defies all logic on 100% level.
------------------------------------------------------
4--SUBJECTIVITY EXAMPLES :

-----someone who thinks WITCHER 3 is a GOOD game can say :#1"i love Witcher 3, because i love Geralt"
or
#2 "i love witcher 3, because Geralt is so handsome"

examples like THOSE are 100% subjective, and no one can deny that they have no glimpse of "Universal Truth". because if YOU love geralt, this doesn't mean he will be lovable by *everyone else*, and even if he was .... you still cannot prove that having him being "lovable" should mean the game is any good in the first place.

so this basically is a closed cycle that will keep repeating itself. the only way to BREAK OUT of this endless prison is reaching the "Values" related to this topic, which is not based on "our current feelings" toward something , but based on how "NATURE" is designed for *us* to feel about it.

so in context with those examples we mentioned, i for example will say "i" personally HATE witcher 3. we will need to analyze "What" is the true ROOT of the elements in the examples above, from on the one that was "Repeated" and "Center" in them. which is "GERALT" , now we follow the following analysis pattern :

--Geralt is "Human" ---> Humans are "male & females"
***which gender has more "Value" in a "video game" ?***
---Video Games is a form "art"---> Art in a Video Game is based on "Visuals" as #1 priority [cause without it everything else falls]--->its universally accepted that the FEMALE is visually more attractive and artistic---> Geralt loses as a "reason" to love the game for.[NOTE : females are more attractive not only to males, but ALSO to FEMALES. as an open minded woman i can definitely confirm that, but we just never really like to admit it].

--FINISHED--
[if you will say that you are playing the game for something else other than visually (like story), then its your fault for NOT UNDERSTANDING the *priority* of video games' core elements].
every different individual have certain "Amount" of knowledge or general "Fact Awareness". that is basically the MAIN CAUSE that makes SUBJECTIVITY a "Thing".
-------------------------------------------------

***FINAL CONCLUSION***
subjectivity has *ZERO* SOLID GROUNDS in this universe, thus will forever remain FALSE. all it does is promote "lies" and "Selfish" thinking... and very much encourages "laziness" and "ignorance" .... which is logically bad human qualities as it degrades our beings and actions in everyday life.
While objectivity shows actual "facts" that we are "ABLE" to prove through "nature" and "life" itself... able to "Relate" together from it, and give solid meaning of many life concepts that applies on us all, 1 way or another.

Different people will ALWAYS exist. we are ALL different, but this should never promote subjectivity or "Blind" us on the fact there is "Absolute Truth" out there that is giving us the proper logic for the "Reason" to live.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
i tried my best to make it as "Short" as possible, i hope i haven't already gone too big. but i couldn't make it any shorter, or my words would have no meaning to anyone.
i know "Some" of you probably won't be convinced yet, as there are still many other points that i intentionally "Cut" to make this as short as i could, but this is good enough as our first attempt at the topic, i will be happy to discuss this with ALL of you in comments and reply to any questions asked, or even discuss in the live chat if it seems necessary.

[PHILOSOPHY POST #001] The *smallest* possible explanation for subjectivity, objectivity, and the universal truths​


*many people did not understand how i really see those terms and how i interpret them in my philosophies, i needed to clarify in a bit more detail and in the most simple way.
------------------------------------------------
for every concept, there must be a meaning. and for every truth, there must be a subject/receiver.
with that said, we start my theory now :
[CORE THEORY]
#1-universal truths ------> [the absolute impossible to change truths for any receiver]
#2-objective truths-------> [solid unchangeable truths but only confirmed to the SAME TYPE of receiver]
#3-Subjective truths-----> [temporarily truths based on the current knowledge of a person]
[EXPLANATION]
#1 is the "absoluteness" of any concept.
#2 is the "facts" that is the "result" of that absoluteness
#3 is the "current level" of the receiver within their "type". [where the type is: humans/animals/etc].
[CONCLUSION]
people are "Stuck" in the "subjective side" because its the first step to climb the stairs, so its naturally the "easiest" to see, but its usually "incomplete" in knowledge due to its weak RANK.
so the REAL TRUTH is always within the "objective side", because its the "more complete" data in this equation, which we EXTRACTED directly from the universal truths to fit our "Specific type" in the universe, thus its the most accurate.

[PHILOSOPHY POST #002] THE MYSTERIES OF THE GENDER [2/18/2021]​


as many people stated, both genders are important in their own way, and they indeed complete each other, there are no disagreement in this, its a CLEAR TRUTH.
but now we going to give the entire thing a deep philosophical look to find some interesting facts hidden within the concepts of the gender.
Here is my scale of for the gender :[LV1]masculinity [LV3]perfection [LV2]femininity
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------7.6.5.4.3.2.1 -01-02-03-|07|03+02+01 1.2.3.4.5.6.7
male Balance female

so what you see here is the UNIVERSAL GENDER SCALE for humans. now we explain how it works.....
[BASIC QUESTIONS]
why male level 1 ? -- the answer :because male is the "initiative" side of genders, they are designed to "Build" and "Achieve". if you won't build the "First" level, you cannot reach the "Second".why female level 2 ? -- the answer :because female is the "keeper" side of the genders, they are designed to "save" and "preserve" everything. you cannot save or preserve what did not "Yet' exist, this is why they are the 2nd level of the scale.
[CONCEPT EXPLANATION]
masculinity : the energy of power,femininity : the energy beauty,and the "numbers" up there explain the level of strength of the energy connected above/below it.
[CORE THEORY PART 1]the male has the side of masculinity, which holds the "power" side ... if you put beauty on it, sadly it "cancels" its entire meaning rendering it almost useless. but if you try to put power on the femininity's beauty side... it will only "enhance" it.
[CONCLUSION]
what we understand from this part of the theory is that females are "higher" rank in this universe, because their CORE CONCEPT is more "Flexible", and is more capable of "Evolving" into perfection, while the male gets canceled on their attempt for perfection.
whether anyone want to accept it or not, its completely up to "Them". i am not a sexist woman, and don't want to cause any unnecessary flaming... i honestly just like to seek the "Truth" in everything in our universe, and its exactly what i am always trying to do now. its up to everyone to decide for "Themselves" What they want and ready to believe.
[CORE THEORY PART 2]when each gender goes forward into its own "Self Direction", it loses POWER as it goes deeper. and the more it goes in the OPPOSITE direction to the center of the scale, the more "balance" points it gets. and the more BALANCE points you get, the more smart, creative and deep you become.
[CONCLUSION]
this means the more the male will have "Femininity", the more he "Should" be smarter, but at the risk of dropping his own "identity". while in females, they will gain more power, personality, stability and passion... and "Still" keep their beauty, it rarely fades away.
[FINAL CONCLUSION]
both genders are definitely important equally, and complete each other... but its quiet clear that [as anything in the universe], nothing is quiet in the same "rank"... everything is designed with different level of existential state to fit its "Role" within the universe, and this is usually done through the different "level" they are "Built" onto. imagine this like STAIRS, while each step is important to climb to the top, you actually realize that no individual stair step is in the same height.
and while everyone may have their "use" in this universe, and an IMPORTANT "Role" to play...no one is actually "Defined" with the SAME "universal rank" ... and the design is MEANT to be this way, to make its own balance from the different looping of each self's lacks and downs, to make a "path" that is REAL and can EXIST that leads toward the end goal.
PS : will explain the theory of "RANKS" in detail later in another theory.

yeah fitgirl's argument about cracks not being trustworthy is in "no shit" territory when it comes to pirating content.

Its about ethics in pirated software.

Others tried to answer the question on hand and some tried to counter the claims in the post like " had lots of universal philosophy knowledge inside my soul and it always opposes the famous philosophers and thinkers' theories, and pretty much "Everyone else" on this planet. ".

It goes without saying that repacking is far easier than cracking. I have never bothered with repacks, because all the games I've torrented have been relatively small as my computer which I bought 10 years ago can't handle modern game graphics (the most demanding game I've played is probably Witcher 3, a 2015/2016 game and I use medium graphics settings)
However if a repacker can remove several gigabytes of localization audio/video or even 4k textures, I would seriously consider it because I don't like it when games take up like 100 GB on my hard drive.


On topic: https://www.reddit.com/r/EmpressEvolution/ is a safe space for Empress and "her" fans/simps. This game review https://www.reddit.com/r/EmpressEvo...press_game_review_000_test_drive_unlimited_2/ is the most normal post by Empress, then back to the "philosophical" insanity like https://www.reddit.com/r/EmpressEvolution/comments/lxvtgq/mini_game_000_what_do_you_think_the_most/

I prefer FitGirl repacks because they take up less space for archiving purposes. Also I got permabanned off of r/Piracy for an antisemitic remark. But it's to be expected from a subreddit that hosts it's backup on a communist Reddit clone. Their wiki is nice though, helped me a lot in learning more about piracy.

A certain Russian repacker who was known in the cracking scene died recently

Today, the famous maker of highly cherished repacks, known on the internet as xatab, has died

This message will be blunt and clear. Everyone has their own beliefs about grief

To clarify, there will be no successors of the xatab brand. There will be no new repacks or updates to old ones. Beware scammers that will take advantage of the situation"

It's not like the rips of old, that shit could be genuinely impressive sometimes. There would be addons but they had strict guidelines as well.

I don't remember the final filesize but fortunately I have the NFO. The rip of Rune was 59x2.88MB in size, so 170MB. Released 8 days before the official release. They got the size down from a full CD by optimizing the textures(maybe audio as well), they looked identical, with the added benefit of a smaller install footprint and the game actually ran faster which lowered the system requirements.

One other superior crack/rip was the release of SiN. The release version had a bug where even if it was fully installed from the CD it would still read level data from the CD and making level transitions horrible.
One common complaint was the long load times, which measured in the minutes between each level, death, or quickload.[20] With later patches the long load times were greatly shortened, although compatibility with old save games was lost, forcing players to play through the game from the beginning or use cheats to progress to their previous point in the game.
...
The patch was exceptionally large; at the time it was normal to expect a game patch file to be up to 5 MB in size, whereas SiN's first patch was over 31 MB. This was at a time when a substantial percentage of internet access was via dial-up, causing Activision to take the unusual step of offering to send CDs containing the patch to any owners of the game who did not have sufficient bandwidth to download it from the Internet.

This was in 1998 and patches weren't forced down your steam pipe like now, you had to seek them out on their support page. I bought the game at release and pirated it early(I often did that), never knew there was any problems with it at the time. No problem with the pirated versions.

The RTM/gold versions of Master of Orion 3 and Arcanum both released months in advance and both studios swore up and down that they were betas and everything that was shit and broken would be fixed for release. Nah, never happened, the released version were identical on a byte-by-byte level.

Best pirate experience was playing Black&White early and after a long session one of the villagers got possessed by a dev(that game had so much weird Molyneux-style unused online functionality) then came up to me, introduced himself and asked me how I could possibly play the game this early if I had actually bought it. I told him the truth, I had it on pre-order and had been hyped since they started their dev-diary in PC-Gamer and I didn't want to wait 5 days more. He said something like "alright, I hope that's true" and disappeared. There was a couple of more chit-chat lines in between, if it was a bot it was a very good one.
I was actually going to cancel my preorder, didn't like the game very much, but he guilted me into keeping it.
